I think there was a discussion on NANOG sometime earlier this year about how negligent it was of operators to oversubscribe the way they do. Now the sentiment in this thread is to push peak speeds above all else because no one uses it anyway, so let's get this microbursting out of the way.
Can't have it both ways.
